Fall into Fall Quilt Bloggers Giveaway

Oh my gosh! I am so sorry for the late post for the Fall into Fall Quilt Bloggers Giveaway! My excuses are valid but I won't bore you with explanations.

See the little scarecrow on the right sidebar? When you finish reading this post....not before....click on the little guy and he will take you to the list of blogging quilters who are all giving away prizes. There are 130+ sites to visit so you have lots of chances to win some fun things. The giveaway runs from Oct. 1 to Oct. 15th.

This is what I will be giving away. A half yard of autumn fairy print, (several different fairies in little rectangles that can be fussy-cut), half yard of coordinating leaf print, three fat quarters and Billie Lauder's book "Quick Quilt Tricks". There may be a few more goodies included. Surprises are fun!

To enter just leave a comment about your favorite fall activity. International is welcome, too. If you decide to become a follower of my blog that would be wonderful but not necessary. If you don't have a blog with a link-back, please include your email with your comment. You can't win if I can't contact you and Mr. Random will have to draw another number. Winning entry will be drawn on Oct. 15th. Good luck to everyone!

Yum, such lovely fairies! My favorite fall activity is the Halloween parade in my town - the center's streets are closed off for a costume parade and it's delightful to see the kids and grownups parading in their costumes.

Oooooo I think I spotted some flower fairy fabric in there....my daughter will love it. I made her a flower fairy quilt a few weeks ago and she just loves it.

My favourite fall activity....going out early on a sunday morning with the kids conker hunting. Even my 15 year old son likes to come along as it has become a family tradition to gather buckets of conkers and then put them on our bird table for the squirrels to takeaway and bury for the winter.

My favorite fall activity is anything outside. I like to walk or bike since the weather has gotten just a little cooler. Where I live there really isn't any fall, just a little cooler and less humidity, but I'll take it.

I love the colors in your fabrics; warm colors really "draw me in".My favorite Fall activity is walking in the crisp air--tho I don't walk as much as I should. If only this weather would last for months...Thanks for your giveaway.

Hi there! My favorite fall activity is driving off to the coast with my BFF. Annually, we leave husbands and kids behind, and fly off to the coast. First it was a day trip, which turned into an overnight trip, which turned into a two-night trip. And there it's stayed all these many years. Such fall fun!

Hubby and I enjoy going to the fairs in the fall. I love looking at the quilts in the Exhibition Halls and eating all those foods that aren't good for us. It just isn't right to go through fall without fair fries and a doughboy!Those fall fabrics are lovely and would be great to win.

My very most FAVORITE FALL activity is working outside in the yard when the air is cooler and the blue sky is a "severe clear". Thank you for this lovely prize for the Fall Into Fall giveaway. alternate email mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com

Lovely blog, Bev. Loved your daughter's nursing journey quilt! Favourite activity is putting the gardens to bed and dreaming about what I will grow next year. Thank you for putting my name in your draw.Please pop by and enter at my bloghttp://sideroadstitcher.blogspot.com/

I enjoy my daily walks so much more in the fall than at any other time - the temperature is cool enough to need a sweater or light jacket, the air is crisp and clean, the leaves are falling, people are out and about raking and enjoying their neighbours - it's a most delightful time to be outdoors!

Oh such a lovely prize pile! =)My favorite fall activity is playing in the leaves back in Sweden with my god daughter Alma and going yellow chanterelle picking in the forest. It's just so peaceful and your mid is free to wander as you wish while keeping an eye out for the "forest gold" =)

My favourite autumn acitivity: Going for walk of course - looking at all the beautiful colored leaves, enjoying the autumn sun! Coming back home and having hot tea and plum cake. That reminds me - need to make some!!!!Thanks for the giveaway. And if you want to come by my blog and enter my giveaways ... you could winsome custom-made buttons ... or a teacozy ...Have a lovely week!ulli-xox[at]web[dot]de

My favorite fall activity is celebrating my birthday! I'm an October baby, and the past few years, in lieu of a cake, I've made one of my favorite recipes from my grandmother. Last year was baklava, the year before was ratatouille, and this year--who knows? :-)

Too hard to pick just one favoriteof fall...one of my favorites though is to sit on my front porch and watch the leaves falling. We live ona tree lined street and sometimes it looks like we live in a snowglobe - except with leaves falling! Soooo beautiful.Thanks so much for the opportunityto enter the Fall Giveaway!

I love raking leaves in the fall. Everyday I rake what's fallen to put in a big wooden bin. Iuse them to ad to my compost when needed. There is something about the methodical rhythm of raking............

Drives on the back roads to view the riotous colors are fun. I also get in the kick of cooking/baking again, and those first few cozy fires in the kitchen stove are wonderful. Thanks for participating in this hop!

i love the changing seasons..currently we are marveling at corn fields and pumpkin patches, including our own this year! we havent been too successful with pumpkins (3) but we had a lot of fun watching them grow. i love long walks with the kids around the neighborhood crunching thru the leaves!! thanks for a chance.

Great fabric! Those fairies would make a great quilt for a little girl! I love seeing the leaves change colors in the fall. And I love drinking hot spiced apple cider too. It's the best time of year! Thanks for the giveaway! :0)

I also love all the things you can make with the apples, pears, prunes that are falling. We already made 67 liter of apple juice, and we are going to the juicemaker next week with another 150 kilo's of aplles. The smell when the juice ie ready, yummie......

That is beautiful fabric! Love the colors. In the fall I love to walk in the fallen leaves, kicking and crunching all the way! Ooh, and I love to bake Sugar Pie pumpkins, puree the pulp, and make muffins. Yummmmm.....

Thank you for your generous giveaway offer, Bev. Our favorite activity is visiting the apple orchards. We live in apple country here in northern maryland (southern PA). It's great to take the little one to see how apple cider is made (especially in organic orchards). Top the day off with a glass of apple cider (spiked or staight up :)!nsue21702 at gmail dot com

neece quiltqueen1@bluemarble.net Great giveaway! This is the first time I have seen that book and can't wait to read it. Thanks for the giveaway. Besides quilting my favorite fall activity is going to the orchard.

My favorite activity in the Fall is getting together with my friends on the farm and doing an apple butter stir in Great Gram's old old old old churn. It takes ALL day, but is a blast!Chelsey,cnw4z2 at gmail. com

Love the fairies, thanks for the chance! Fall for me is the time I feel like I've got renewed energy and enthusiasm to get back to the great outdoors and enjoy it! Hikes, festivals, Craft Fairs and coffee in the morning...Loving it!

Love the fairy fabric My favorite fall activity is watching the changing colors and watching the deer eat th appels I leave on my trees for themthanks for giving me a chance to win.sharonsajmom3@yahoo.com

I love pumpkins, apples the changing of the leaves, and taking occasional walks on crisp fall mornings. That book you have looks great I have learned a few Billie Lauder tricks from Alex's Simply Quilts can't wait to learn a few more, thanks for the chance, and fairies too, wonderful!!

My favorite fall activity is craving pumpkins with the kids and roasting the seeds. Love the giveaway. Have always admired the fairies fabric, but never got around to buying some. Thanks for the chance to win.

Hi thanks for the great giveaway - this whole project has been a great way to find some more blogs to follow. My favourite thing about autumn must be the colours - I know it isn't very original but it is the truth. Ccarolinehemsley@btinternet.com

What beautiful fabric! Thanks so much for participating. You definitely have a new follower. :) My favorite Fall activity is going to our local pumpkin farm and picking out our pumpkins. They have a nice country store and offer kettle corn and hot apple cider while you browse. It's just fun. Thanks again!jansie(at)gmail(dot)com

My favorite thing about fall is collecting nuts and beautiful leaves that Mother Nature gives us and dry them. I use them do decorate the house and the leaves smells so good.... the smell of autumn is in your house :-)BTW I have become a follower because I like your blog very much and your give away is just beautiful !!

I am entering for my daughter Mel, her computer is down and she called and asked if once again I would enter her in contests, I couldn’t say no as she helps my wife and her mother with their charity quilting projects. I try to support them any way that I can.thank you for putting our name in your drawing. Florida areatcsean(at)aol(dot)com

the smell of the leaves as they change to glorious shades of rust, red, amber and gold...the smell of wood smoke as cold weather creeps in and wood stoves get fired up...the smell of ripening apples hanging within arm's reach begging to be picked and cooked with cinnamon and spices....the fresh clean frosty mornings that clear out the stale air from my lungs and refresh me..the beautiful huge shiny harvest moon that lights the night up as if it were day and seems to hang so close to the earth that you could reach out and touch it...the feel of sticky and wet pumpkin seeds as I prepare the annual Jack-o-lantern...I love all of it!blue_eyed_gypsy2000@yahoo.com
